Cristiano Ronaldo calls two former Real Madrid team-mates in bid to convince duo to join him at Al-Nassr in Saudi Pro League

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly reacted to Al-Nassr's Saudi Cup final defeat to Al-Hilal by calling up his former Real Madrid team-mates Nacho Fernandez and Casemiro in an effort to convince them to join him in Saudi Arabia. Both players face uncertain club futures and <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/liga-arabia-saudi/2024/06/02/665b6e5b46163f22808b45da.html" target="_blank">Marca</a> report that Ronaldo is personally taking the lead in trying to lure them to the Saudi Pro League.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>An <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-cristiano-ronaldo-tears-al-nassr-superstar-heartbroken-king-s-cup-final-defeat-al-hilal-neymar-lionel-messi-chants/blt749f5e19f838f2cd" target="_blank">emotional Ronaldo was in tears</a> when his side lost to Al-Hilal this week, as the Saudi Cup final defeat consigned his team to a trophyless season. The 39-year-old clearly believes that the way to rectify that next season will be to move for more experienced players, who have a pedigree in winning trophies.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Nacho captained Real Madrid to the club's 15th European Cup win on Saturday evening, with the 34-year-old picking up his sixth winners' medal. That means Nacho, plus team-mates Luca Modric, Toni Kroos and Dani Carvajal join Madrid legend Gento as the only players to have won six European Cups - one more than Ronaldo.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With Nacho coming to the end of his contract at the Bernabeu, he looks set to leave Madrid, but has been strongly linked with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-captain-nacho-set-for-summer-mls-move-after-los-blancos-contract-ends/blt2286a07b38d085bd" target="_blank">move to the MLS,</a> which could scupper Ronaldo's plans of luring him to Riyadh. Casemiro could be the more likely player of the two to make the switch, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/casemiro-quit-man-utd-mls-saudi-arabia-performance-liverpool-legend-jamie-carragher-slams-crystal-palace/bltecc47cc2081a38dd" target="_blank">given his poor form for Manchester United</a> this season as the Red Devils get set for a summer clearout. </p>
